How to prevent keyboard from appearing for EditText that is not enabled

Question

In my activity there is an EditText , which supposedly is not edited until the user clicks on the edit button for the screen.

I did edit.setEnabled(false) , but the keyboard is still displayed for the user, and the values ​​can be added to the EditText on the screen from the keyboard, although the screen may look a little gray. What else do I need to do to prevent the EditText from being edited until the user clicks the edit button.

Thanks Steve

Attention that setEditable disabled.

You can use:

 setInputType(EditorInfo.TYPE_CLASS_TEXT) 

Turn on the keyboard.

 setInputType(EditorInfo.TYPE_NULL) 

To disable the keyboard.

Try setEditable(false) in your EditText.

Set it to true when you want someone to enter it.

in your layout file add this attribute to your EditText

To make EditText Write Only and not appear on the keyboard, I use these two commands in a .xml file.

  android:editable="false" android:inputType="none"

Use edittext.setInputType (0); in your java file.

Answer 6

Added EditText function in API 21, namely
